The Original Boudin and Cracklin King Cake - Twins Burgers and Sweets - Lafayette

-- In 2015 the Boudin King Cake was "invented" right here at kingcaker.com and boudinlink.com. It became a viral success and 2016 has shown that it is more than just a passing fad. When it became clear that we could not address the demand for this savory/sweet hybrid we brought our concept and recipe to Twin's Burgers and Sweets in Lafayette and they did a phenomenal job of putting the Original Boudin King Cake into production. (If you're interested in seeing the post that started it all you can click HERE.)

It is truly a delight. Fresh baked bread that is light and airy is stuffed full of homemade boudin and topped with crispy cracklin before being baked to golden perfection. Drizzled with Louisiana's famous Steen's Pure Cane Syrup, you have yourself what has rightly been called the most Cajun of all foods. It seamlessly merges a handful of the culinary delights that Louisianans identify as part of their cultural identity.

You'll get porky goodness in every bite and the sweet syrup is a perfect compliment. (Photo courtesy of Deep South Magazine)

We respect the various Boudin King Cake interpretations that have cropped up across the state (and even in East Texas!), but we suggest that you try the original! If you stop in their shop during the Mardi Gras season they have them warm and ready to go from a heated case or you can order them online and have one shipped to your door at www.boudinkingcakes.com.
